For CM8K fans, I have defined a personality, CM8999 which has posted reasonable results against CM_Utzinger at G/30. The Utzinger settings are as Kurt defined them (including Kostick book) except for ttable size. CM8999 uses the CM8K book. Both used 16MB ttables on PII 266MHZ. W D L Gms Score CM8999 16 25 9 50 28.5 CM_Utzinger 9 25 16 50 21.5 I am in the process of conducting two 50 game 40/40 tournaments on two machines with CM_Utzinger, CM8999 and CM8K default. These are single-machine contests but I am trying to ascertain the impact of machine speed on the results and ultimately how it correlates with the selective search setting. 1) PIII 933 - All personalities using 32MB ttables 2) PII 266 - All personalities using 16MB ttables I will report the results when the 40/40 tournaments have been completed. These 50 game contests are small samples, but preliminary testing with the CM8999 settings shows promise. So far the results are: PII 266 W D L Gms Score CM/16 2 3 1 6 3.5 CM8999 1 4 1 6 3.0 CM_Utzinger 0 5 1 6 2.5 PIII 933 W D L Gms Score CM8999 4 4 3 11 6.0 CM/32 3 5 2 10 5.5 CM_Utzinger 1 7 3 11 4.5 CM8999 settings - CM8K default except as noted below: Style: A/D = -5 SS = 7 Position: M/P = 5 CC = 105 Mob = 130 KS = 160 PP = 105 PW = 105 Material B = 3.2 N = 3.1 Add CM8999 to your CM8K repertoire and enjoy.
